You know what grinds my gears?
These Thomas fans who are making stupid chain letters about getting 20 signatures to stop Hit from fully animating the show and saying you're not a true Thomas fan if you don't pass it on. What they don't realise is that no matter what circumstance,we just slate the new series at some point. You'd need more than 20 signatures to get HIT to change their minds,so why don't you so called "Thomas fans" just(like the South Park song) "Shut your f***ing face Uncle F***a!"
And that's what really grinds my gears!

Do you know what really grinds my gears?
People who make 'A Tribute to...Thomas-type' videos on YouTube. I will admit one or two that I did favourite the Postman Pat ones because the music had not been obtainable beforehand, but generally they are extremely pointless. The fact that there are examples such as The Fat Controller's car or S.C Ruffey, etc. makes me wonder 'do these people have a life?' They even have brief pieces of O' Donnell/Campbell music which don't go with it and the actual lengths of the videos are extremely short, they are in my opinion truly and complete and utter waste of time
[Sarcasism mode] And now, I'm going to make an 'A Tribute to the A Tribute To.. videos'![Sarcasism mode]
And that is what really grinds my gears!

Do you know what else really grinds my gears People on YouTube who are always commenting on my Mr. Men and Little Miss videos. I keep getting e-mails that so and so has commented on Little Miss...whatever and the comments are usually quite tedious. Also, there is a great deal of apathy towards the Random Stuff videos which have had little or no recognition and it angers me a great deal thatpeople are ignoring my more creative works! Well I wouldn't say they are total masterpieces, but still, a bit more attention to them would be greatly appreciated, rather than being recognised for uploading a Kids TV series! Also, television commercials about cars (well in the UK, I don't what they are like overseas!) I usually see a piece of film which looks very created and well-filmed and something that could win the Cannes Film Festival. But then, a car appears and once the focus starts to go on that! I really get pissed off! Why must great care and attention be put towards advert featuring a bloody car! Not also due to the fact I can't drive, but the fact that they are seen as God's gift to the world and must be greatly worshiped! Complete and utter Bull! And that's what really grinds my gears!

HEADPHONES.
I bought a nice pair of headphones recently, about 2 months ago or so. They've been working really well, up until today. Suddenly, only the left ear works properly - the right ear doesn't work unless I put the wire in a certain position!
And this ALWAYS happens! Why are headphones so unreliable? It's frustrating when I'm trying to listen to an enjoyable song, and suddenly, my right ear blanks out. If they can make high-tech DVD disks that can last forever, can't they make a pair of headphones that don't die within a matter of weeks?
That's what REALLY grinds my gears!

Do you know what really grinds my gears?
The NHS policy on food.
In the hospital where I work, I serve food to the patients on the wards. Once done ALL left over food MUST be tossed into the slop bucket. I mean, the other day, I threw away 8 perfectly good omelets! Its such a bloody waste! People in Africa would kill to have that much food and there I am throwing it away!
And of the course there is the nurses. The top brass expect them to send a highly valued nurse (to get for everyone) who should be caring the patients, to walk to the canteen at the other end of the hospital to buy the exact same stuff! Its madness!
Sometimes, once I've finished serving the 20 or so people on the ward, I ask the nurses: "Does bed 37 want anything?." Hopefully, you'll catch my drift. And even then, I'm not aloud to do that, for it is officially classified as STEALING! Since when was it seen that food that is going ito the bin is is instead put to use and given to nurses as a free and well deserved dinner STEALING!
That what grinds my gears.

You know what grinds my gears? Hierachi systems (can't spell it) Every system is currupt, bent, stupid and void of logic, especially the Army, don't join, there 'Bull5hit Element' is what nearly sent me mad and thus I did my time and went, Iraq was a breeze compared to your apparent 'Life' in camp and I honestly means that. Yes, I have a very bitter attitude to the army now for pissing me off so much And that's what grinds me gears innit.

You know what really grinds my gears?
The fact that my parents will sometimes criticize me because I'm thin. Sure, I may not be the size of your average man, but I'm perfectly happy with how I look. I don't want to change anything about that, but my parents keep thinking I should eat more.
That's what really grinds my gears.

Do you know what really grinds my gears? Chain letters that say "If u dont sen dis, you wil dye in thre dayz1!!1!11!!1". I HATE that, it's just a waste of time, that's why I don't send them. I got one two weeks ago that said I'd die in three days................and yet I'm still here. Don't believe chain letters! And that's what really grinds my gears.

Do you know what really grinds my gears?
Any form of mathematics! I was originally going to have to retake an algebra class I'd failed. Math is one of my weakest subjects and I'm fed up with it. It's given me nothing but frustration.
That's what really grinds my gears.

What Grinds my gears? Why, gear-grinding itsself. And unsignalled lane changes, Doing 80 in a 55, cutting off, blasting away, tailgating, the Bird, Talking on Cellphones, TEXTING on cellphones, eating, putting on your makeup... While driving. Also stuff like this... And this... And letting a car get to this state... and WORST OF ALL.... THIS. NOTHING says "I'm holier than thou," like a Prius.

You know what really grinds my gears on that subject? Rewriting.
I know this scene can be better, but I've thought it through ten times in my head, I DON'T want to write it anymore, but it sucks, so I have to anyway.

The fact that my parents did the exact same thing to me, and then when I eventually started eating more and gaining weight, they told me I was too fat. That's what really grinds my gears.
